Real Estate and the Economy in a Post-COVID World: What Lies Ahead

Description

Please note that this class is an in-person class and will be held in Big Sky. 

All real estate is local, but it plays against the backdrop of the national and regional economy. This program traces the connections between movements in the national economy and the health of the real estate market. We look at the future prospects for growth, employment, interest rates and inflation and how their changes will factor into home sales and prices. But this program also trains you to be your own forecaster, by pointing out the key factors to look at in your specific market and how to interpret these to provide market knowledge and insight to the consumer. Attendees will receive 4 CE credits for attending.
